I have a funny problem. "du" gives the error "No such file or directory", on a number of directories in root. When I run du on my root directory I get: <<<A lot of files>>> du: /u: cannot stat, No such file or directory du: /X: cannot stat, No such file or directory du: /a: cannot stat, No such file or directory du: /xenix: cannot stat, No such file or directory du: /u: cannot stat, No such file or directory If i do a "ls -l /" from root I get: (listing is pruned) drwx------ 7 pgd root 304 Jan 8 18:34 X drwx------ 2 root root 32 Jul 23 12:29 a drwxr-xr-x 2 bin bin 2352 Jan 2 08:33 bin drwxr-xr-x 9 bin bin 7472 Sep 14 17:04 dev drwxr-xr-x 6 bin bin 1840 Jan 10 11:25 etc drwxr-xr-x 3 bin bin 1552 Jul 23 11:49 lib drwx------ 2 bin bin 1024 Jan 7 14:18 lost+found drwxrwxrwx 3 bin bin 3584 Jan 10 11:25 tmp drwxrwxr-x 11 bin pgd 224 Dec 19 16:18 u drwxr-xr-x 28 bin bin 480 Nov 24 14:47 usr drwxrwxr-x 4 pgd root 720 Dec 31 20:10 x -rwxr--r-- 1 root root 419136 Sep 12 20:21 xenix Does anyone have an explanation on how I can fix the problem. tar etc. just silently ignore all those directories, unless they are specified separately. Otherwise everything works normally. P.Garbha
